Solar panels and new build warranties: (1) NHBC WARRANTY: MCS-certified solar installation does NOT void your NHBC Buildmark warranty. The key requirement: inform your builder/developer before installation. (2) DEVELOPER-INSTALLED SOLAR: if your new build comes with solar, it's covered under the NHBC warranty as part of the build. Check the handover documents for panel, inverter, and installation warranties. (3) RETROFIT SOLAR: adding solar after purchase — use MCS-certified installers. The solar installation is covered by the installer's own warranty (5-10 years workmanship). Your NHBC structural warranty continues for the building itself. (4) IMPORTANT: if non-MCS installation causes roof damage, the NHBC may refuse to cover that specific damage. Always use MCS.

Solar panels are most powerful when combined with an efficient heating system. Heat pumps use solar-generated electricity to heat your home at 300-400% efficiency — making them the ideal partner for solar.
Heat pump installation typically takes 2-3 days and is best planned alongside solar.
